Biography

At the start of World War II, Le Roy joined the French Air Force, where he became a radio technician. Following the Battle of France, he tried to join England in the war efforts, but he was denied. He then went to Marseille, where he tried and failed to join Free France. He was then contacted by Jean Le Roux, the main transmitter of the Réseau Johnny.

He joined the network in 1941 with the mission of addressing the public on the Occupation. He was taken prisoner on 16 February 1942 in Quimper. He escaped, but was again captured three days later.

He was imprisoned in Angers, Fresnes, and Fort de Romainville. Le Roy was deported to Natzweiler-Struthof in July 1943, then to Kommando d'Erringen, and lastly to Dachau. He was freed on 30 April 1945 from Allach.

gollark: Well, I couldn't work out how to make that available to others safely, so I have to do it.
gollark: Oh, right.

gollark: Well, if the configuration is too similar, then it might be too similar to configuration files used by IRC networks in apiospace. Now, of course, most apiospatial information is highly cognitometaapiohyperhazardous, so it would be bad if it entered normal IRC networks.
